Build data products that shape global telecom decisions
At Opensignal, we don’t just process data, we turn billions of real-world data points into the insights that drive how telecom operators compete, invest, and grow.
We’re looking for a Data Engineer who wants to do meaningful work at scale. If you enjoy building robust pipelines, solving complex data problems, and seeing your work directly influence real-world strategy, this role is for you.
What you’ll do
- Own and scale data pipelines processing massive datasets using Spark and Scala on AWS
using agentic AI tools.
- Transform raw data into high-impact insights used by global customers and analysts
- Design and build resilient data systems with a focus on performance, quality, and reliability
- Partner with Data Scientists, Product, and Analytics teams to turn ideas into production-ready data products
- Debug, optimise, and continuously improve pipelines through deep root cause analysis
- Champion engineering best practices, testing, CI/CD, and clean, maintainable code
Why this role stands out
- Real impact: Your work directly influences customer acquisition and retention strategies for major telecom players
- True ownership: You won’t just contribute; you’ll own pipelines and shape how data flows across products
- Scale & complexity: Work with large, messy, real-world datasets—not toy problems
- Collaborative environment: Work closely with highly skilled Data Scientists and Engineers globally
- Growth opportunity: Stretch into more senior responsibilities as you deepen your expertise
What you bring
- 2–5+ years building data pipelines with Apache Spark
- Strong coding skills in Scala (or Java with willingness to learn Scala)
- Confidence writing complex, performant SQL
- Hands-on experience with AWS (S3, EC2, EMR or similar)
- A solid understanding of data pipelines, ETL/ELT, and distributed systems
- A natural curiosity, you enjoy digging into data issues and figuring out the “why”
- Strong collaboration skills, you’re comfortable working across teams
Nice to have (but not essential)
- Experience in full agentic AI coding using Codex or Claude.
- Experience with Airflow or similar orchestration tools
- Exposure to Python for data workflows
- Familiarity with Redshift, Athena, or other analytical databases
- Experience with ML/data science workflows in production
